DISCUSSION: Battlefield V: Firestorm

Comments

I beg to differ. Gold Rush from Bad Company was really well done due to excellent map design. Also CTF in BF3 was really good too which confuses me why they never put it in BF4 or any of the newer BF games.

Limited time has to be dice logic, I know they didn’t make it but they’re taking over. Duos seems to be what everyone I play BR with wants to play and of course it’s gotta be special and limited on bfv. Hopefully at some point it stays permanently

Happened to me today while I was playing with a friend. We landed with 1 enemy next to a couple of houses. Friend and I went into 1 big house and found no weapons at all, only gadgets, med packs and other trash. The enemy player on the other hand went into small garage and ran out of it with purple M1897 and blasted us into oblivion.

Why are you landing next to enemies at the start of the round? You understand that's a bad idea in general right? Anywho...

You literally just advised that you and your friend were dealt two unsuited & unmatched cards and your opponent got pocket aces.

Regardless of the probability of such, it's moot. Experienced card players FOLD when the probability is against them, in this analogy that would be DEATH.

They don't gain super-hero powers because they understand probability, they simply know when to hold them or to fold them and EVEN then World Poker Tournament players still lose to players due to luck at times.

So everyone having the same identical random chance is somehow not level?
I guess you don't think any card game in the existence of man is a level playing field as well then.
"Sorry guys, I can't play poker with you because Johnny got a pair of aces and I didn't, clearly unfair"

This is a perfect analogy.

The problem with that analogy is that experienced player can calculate the probability. If cards are dealt from the same deck, you already know that cards you have cannot be owned by someone else. In BR, you cannot predict what gun/armor/gadgets your opponents have because there is no limit to any weapon rarity. A single person can find 5 epic guns in a house while other person can find a couple of nades and a knife. Happened to me today while I was playing with a friend.

But experienced players of Firestorm will learn which areas contain higher tier loot. Just like card players learning to calculate odds. Very experienced payers will observe things like which area a player they just saw came from.

He came from that town that usually has high tier stuff? Be more careful with how you engage him, since he's likely packing well.

after Mercury in May that will only be 2 DLC maps total for core BFV game modes in the first 6 MONTHS after release. how much more "clear" could they be?

And how many additional maps did we get prior to Firestorm?

Firestorm isn't the problem, it's your free Live Service model in action.

i agree with that assessment about YOUR free live service 100%! for the record i was totally against YOUR live service. i knew live service would mean very few maps. i was hoping they would keep Premium, but so many players were crying abouy having to spend $60 for it SMH. at any rate, Firestorm seems to be doing pretty well right now, so i definitely think DICE will ride that wave and continue to focus more on Firestorm. if they do that i guess a lot of us will have to find another shooter to play. all i know is i wont be on the bore fest known as Firestorm, but to each their own.

UPDATE:
If you're having issues with matchmaking as a full squad, don't click PLAY NOW until your squad is full. Otherwise, whatever squad you have at that moment will be the squad. We're aware of this confusion and working to address it. Thanks.

Never clicked the play now option. Squad is open, 15 games no squad fills, Always 2 man light in squads. Pointless playing at a disadvantage every single game. Either there's just nobody playing or the matchmaking is not working. AAA game......

In other BR games I've played, sound payed a pretty big part, especially when sneaking up on someone, or when someone approaches your position. The sound will tell you what direction he's coming from and roughly how far off he is. It also lets you roughly pinpoint nearby gunfights.

But in Firestorm I have a lot of trouble locating enemies. Sound volume is a poor indicator of distance, and the sound mostly appears to come from everywhere. Do others have the same experience? I'm using stereo headphones by the way (no surround)

(Still having fun in Firestorm though I'm garbage at straight up duel shootouts)

Try using Surround in sound option instead of 3D if you are using a soundcard.
